Definition
一万三千五 is an informal way of saying the number 13,500 in Chinese. It is a contraction of 一万三千五百, where the final 百 is dropped in casual speech. This pattern is common for numbers between 10,000 and 99,999 when the hundreds digit is zero or when the number ends in a round hundred. For example, 两万三千 (23,000) instead of 两万三千零.
